Artistic Practice: Eko Resonance

Eko Resonance is the artistic practice of Auri Annina Antinranta.

It explores the relationship between ecological systems, human experience and possible futures through sound, moving image, participation and artistic experimentation. Eko Resonance creates opportunities to sense, imagine and experience alternative futures.

Theory

Eko Resonance is based on the idea that resonance is more than an acoustic phenomenon.

It is a way of understanding relationships between humans, ecosystems and cultural expression.

The practice combines:

  • ecological awareness

  • systems thinking

  • artistic expression

  • futures thinking

  • speculative design

It explores how future possibilities may become perceptible through the senses before they become reality.

Methods

Eko Resonance combines artistic inquiry with futures-oriented practice.

Methods include:

  • sound art

  • listening as a research method

  • moving image

  • participatory experiences

  • speculative design

  • future prototyping

  • environmental storytelling

  • sensory futures exploration

The goal is to create conditions for new relationships, emotions and interpretations to emerge.

Works

Selected works developed through the Eko Resonance practice include:

Soiva Tuleva

An immersive sound installation exploring the future of Finnish forests through environmental recordings and speculative soundscapes.

BreathBlissBar

A participatory future prototype exploring alternative decision-making through breath, sensory experience and more-than-human perspectives.

Future Soundscapes

Tailored audiovisual experiences developed for public programmes, cultural projects and future-oriented events.

Signal / Noise

A performance format exploring attention, creativity and human experience in an increasingly algorithmic world.

Collaborations

Eko Resonance develops through collaboration.

Projects bring together artists, musicians, designers, technologists, researchers and cultural organisations to create new perspectives on possible futures.

Publications

The ideas behind Eko Resonance are expressed through multiple formats:

  • music releases

  • audiovisual works

  • sound installations

  • performances

  • essays and writing

  • future prototypes

  • participatory experiences

Together they explore how artistic practice can open new ways of imagining and discussing the future.

Future Prototypes

Future prototypes are concrete manifestations of the Eko Resonance practice.

They are installations, sound works, participatory experiences, speculative objects or audiovisual environments that make a possible future temporarily present.

Rather than describing the future, they allow people to experience it.

Future prototypes invite reflection, evoke emotion and create space for imagining alternative ways of living, relating and becoming.
